Aliens have always been surrounded by mystery. People from all around the world have always thought of them as being scary. Alien abduction stories relate the incidences of non-human creatures kidnapping people on Earth. Many people claim that the phenomenon of alien abduction exists and some have even said to have been kidnapped by them. Most of the alien abduction stories have incidents of aliens forcing people to undergo a medical examination. Some stories have references to aliens warning people on Earth about dangers in their future. Many have an element of fright while some are a complete contrast. They talk of abducted people having a pleasant abduction experience. The first alien abduction story that made news was that of Betty and Barney Hill. On September 19, 1961, they were driving to Portsmouth when they saw a bright light in the sky. Soon, some human-like figures got out from a disk-like craft and approached the Hills. The human-like figures with their vehicle began hovering over the Hills' car. The aliens soon abducted them. The Hills later claimed to have entered a state of altered consciousness during the abduction. Another famous alien abduction story is that of Boas. Antonio Vilas Boas was a Brazilian farmer who was working at night, when he saw a red star in the night sky. It was actually an egg-shaped craft with red light. He began attempting to flee from the scary object that seemed to be approaching him. But he was soon captivated by a humanoid. The humanoid, as described by Boas, had blue eyes and made sounds like barks and yelps. Three other human-like beings grabbed Boas and took him to their craft. Inside the craft, his clothes were stripped off to cover him with jelly. Later the abductors performed a blood examination on Boas and then left him in a room in accompaniment of a female who resembled the other humanoid figures. Boas claims to have fallen ill when in captivity. When he returned to Earth, he realized that he had been abducted for four hours. This was truly a very scary alien abduction. Herbert Schirmer, a Police Sergeant has claimed to have been abducted by some non-human beings in 1967. On his claims he was hypnotized to make him reveal his experience of alien abduction. During hypnosis, Schirmer said that a white object with red lights approached him and started communicating mentally. According to his claims, the alien stopped him from drawing his gun. The case was investigated by Psychologist R. Leo Sprinkle of Wyoming. After hypnotic regression procedures with Schirmer, he concluded that it was difficult to say if the claim was true but for Schirmer, the experience was real. Another scary alien abduction took place on Dechmont Law, a hill outside Livingston, Scotland. Bob Taylor, a forestry worker encountered an unidentified object, which dragged him along the ground. Investigators found some strange-looking marks on the ground. This incident is considered as one of the very close UFO encounters in Scotland. People from different parts of the world have different stories to tell. Most of the alien abductions are claimed to have taken place at night and the abductees have mostly claimed to have been examined. Some have experienced a different state of consciousness when they were under abduction. The interesting part of all the stories is that all the abductees have returned safely on Earth without having to give any ransom to their kidnappers!
